Norris Slack
You recently sent corrections for Norris and Mary Slack. I have added obits to both. If you are really interested in this family, Norris B. Slack's obit is very lengthy. I can send you photos of the obit to piece together and if you want to transcribe it and send it to me I'll update it. Or, better yet, I can transfer them to your care and you can do what you want. Look also at his son, I added obits for him and his wife (I think).

RE: Margaret Crichton
Thanks for the reply. I'm a descendant of the brother of Margaret (Muir) Crichton's grandfather, William Muir. I firmly believe, but don't have the proof yet, that Margaret Crichton's middle name is Barclay which is the maiden name of her Muir grandmother. I have a copy of Margaret Crichton's father's parish birth record from Scotland. It clearly shows that Margaret's grandmother's maiden name is Barclay. Your edit and what I believe to be the correct middle name are only two letters different. I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline your edit.

Conklin family plots at Conway
I see that you manage several Conklin memorials at Conway. I'm trying to verify that Eliza Delia Page was buried with any of them. According to her Minnesota death record, she died 14 Nov 1916 at St. Paul, and was buried in Arcadia, Michigan. Her daughter was Dora M. Page Conklin, memorial # 45197633 at Conway, and it's highly likely Eliza was buried there with other Conklins. However, the Township clerk told me they have no record of her, which could simply mean she was buried by family members instead of the sexton. I'm guessing there is no gravestone, but wonder if there is an unmarked grave by Dora or her husband, Orin G. Conklin, #38832695, who died in 1912.

Father Beair 55077752
I suggested a correction for the memorial of Linnie Beair, who is buried in Pleasanton Twp Cemetery. I made a mistake when giving you the spouse's memorial number. The correct spouse's memorial number is 55077752, a marker shown as Father (1853-1927).
Sorry for the mistake. Please make the correction from the one I originally suggested.

RE: Brewster Freeman
Interesting. Amanda died in 1874, and in 1870 they lived together in Pa. Nelson Richmond died in 1876. I'm still not sure. Think I'll just make a note of Brewster in her bio. Maybe some day family can figure it out.

Jack Bally's MANNED 1/3 Scale B-17 Nearly Ready To*Fly! - blog - AirPigz

Wow, this plane will be a show stopper when it's finished and flying. Like most people, I'm really looking forward to first flight pics and video.
Thanks Alan! I know we've talked about this plane on the forum before, but these are new pictures that are much further along.

WOW! That's one big Cessna!!!
This is so awesome....
OMG.... that beautiful!!!!! I think we've found the new winner for the warbird replicas at OSH
Does anyone know if this has flown?
From what I've seen, not yet. The plan seems to be early next year for the first flight.
what's been the slowdown ? airframe + engines seem to have been ready years ago.
Is there that much little bits that need to be sorted, was there some technical drawbacks or just build time lacking ?
Can't wait to see it in the air !
As they always say, the last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time...
Even a 1/3 scale replica B-17 is an extremely complex airplane, with lots of systems and details to get finished.

I have two forms, and so two different submit buttons, for one page (page used for adding staff members to company db).
The first submit deals with submitting a username (name and faculty automatically filled in through a command line program). Obviously, I want to keep this information and display it to the user while they are filling out the information required in the second form. This works fine.
The problem is if there is an error in the second form. The addition fails and an error message displays but all the information from the first form is wiped out.
The session variables below are set if the first form is submitted (with no errors):
$_SESSION['name'] = $info['displayName'];
$_SESSION['faculty'] = $info['ou'];
$ownerId = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['ownerId']));
$_SESSION['ownerId'] = $ownerId;
But when these variables are wiped out if the second form is submitted. My understanding is that this happens because the first form is not technically submitted anymore. But, then again, isn't that the point of session variables -- not to be wiped out?
EDIT: Maybe it would be helpful to add that I unset all the session variables, but ONLY if the second form was submitted with no errors. Although I don't think this is very relevant

Announcing auditions for "Invisible!"
Go to "GET INVOLVED" for more information.
4,000 Minnesota Youth are homeless on the streets each night in Minnesota. Be a part of the solution to resolve this issue!
Written and Directed by Shelley Smith
In October-November of 2016, Chain Reaction Theatre Project will bring to the stage the entertaining, inspirational, powerful and thought-provoking new play, "Invisible," based on true stories of homeless suburban youth "unseen" and living amongst us in our suburban communities. There are an estimated 4,000 homeless youth in Minnesota each night. 1 out of 10 boys and 1 out of 4 girls will be solicited for sex trafficking within 24 hours of being on the street. The majority of these youth have experienced poverty, family conflict, abuse, mental illness and chemical dependency either personally or through family members. They "sleep" in places such as port-a-potties, buses, light rail trains, tents in the woods…or they couch hop…while still making it to school, managing to blend in and remaining "invisible." Very little housing is available for homeless suburban youth, and since they are not street smart, they do not fare well in the city. Youth are much better able to thrive if they stay in their own community. Yet, it's difficult to do well in school and maintain a job without reliable transportation, knowing where you will sleep, or where your next meal will come from.

2005 Pontiac Aztek SUV Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
No BS here......I bought my Aztek new in 2005 and currently have 428,000 miles on the original engine and trans. I've replaced hub assemblies often but have it down to a science. I am having a problem with a clunking noise in the front end right now AFTER changing the ball joints, tie rods, struts and CV joints/half shafts. I'm thinking it's time for control arm bushings to get rid of it. This has been the most reliable car I can and will ever own, it's only left me stranded once when the alternator went out......not bad for 428K and 11 years of daily driving.
2005 Pontiac Aztek SUV AWD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Our Aztec died in a crash recently and it will be missed.The minivan based design allowed it to be a great snow ski hauler since ski's fit under the seat.Although the spoiler did restrict rear vision - it also appeared to always block the headlights of the car behind us when they were tailgating.It got us everywhere we needed to go.The front seats of all cars are comfortable but the often forgotten rear seat [I guess most parents think it is the kids problem not theirs] was very comfortable for the Aztec.If the look can be ignored, the function is great.Note: some Aztec's inherited all the problems.Find a good one and keep it for life.
Great visibility forward.
Short wheel base makes it very easy to get around tight spaces.
AWD gives confidence going slippery places.
Vehicles of comparable size do not have nearly as much room inside - not including the comment below about a 4x8 sheet.
MPG was very dependent upon the right foot.
For long Trips: tread lightly = 27mpg on trips / a lead foot = 20 MPG on the same trip.
This was due to great gearing where it drew about 2000RPM at 60.
Removing the rear seat really allows it to carry lots of stuff.
The rear tailgate does not swing out very far making it perfect for smaller garages.
The organizer is great and can be removed when it is in the way.
The distance between the rear wheels did not allow for a 4x8 sheet to fit in the back.
It just missed by 1/2".
The Factory roof bars were too low, allowing cargo boxes to bottom out on the roof.
Changing the plugs requires the block to be lifted up with a special tool.
I thought this was the ugliest automobile on the road, and then I drove one! My first was a 2001 with a campers package (loved it!), then I traded it for a 2005 knowing the car was nlm. I will have it paid off soon and hope it lasts forever! I haul greyhound dogs in it and it is perfect with the back seats removed. I love this car!
Removable back seats, and the room is awesome. Really cannot complain about the highway gas mileage as it will get 25-27 mpg with the air on
Please start making them again
I've had my Aztek for about 5 years now and it's perfect for us. It washes up to look great for executive meetings and transforms to a great family rig for weekends on the coast. I have a two package and pull a trailer with gear for longer trips. Plenty of room. It runs great. 80k miles and still strong. My only thing is the sunroof is flawed. Had it repaired 5 times and it still doesn't work. I'm looking for a second one now.
Rear Hatch Stereo Control, Quick pickup, Comfortable for 5 grown kids.
Better sunroof design, a place to hang a suit or shirt.
I can sum up my review briefly...245,000 miles...body very good..0 rust.....original engine, transmission. Reolaced alternator and water pump but these didn't occur until 201,000 miles. This vehicle is hands down the most dependable, fun vehicle I have ever owned. I would buy another without hesitation.
Lift out cooler...tailgate that you can actually sit on.

Research Institution:
AbstractTouchstone Research Laboratory and Aspen Aerogels have teamed to create a new carbon composite material comprised of Touchstone's carbon foam (CFOAM) and carbon aerogel. Phase I demonstrated the feasibility of manufacturing on a laboratory scale and included foam and aerogel compositional optimization, as well as preliminary thermal and mechanical characterization. The results were that carbon aerogel reduced radiant heat transfer of the carbon foam substantially with no degradation of the foam mechanical properties. Phase II will focus on enhanced aerogel composition development to control shrinkage of the aerogel during pyrolysis and will explore other aerogel formulations such as silica and alumina. Target applications will be identified to benefit from the unique properties of low thermal conductivity, high strength, low weight, low CTE, and high use temperature. At least one identified application will be identified, and Finite Element Analysis will be utilized to model the thermal and physical response of the composite material within the required environment. A preliminary manufacturing plan will be established to allow for a cost-benefits analysis of competing/state-of-the-art materials systems. It is anticipated that this novel composite material will provide a lower-cost, high-performance, rigid insulation material for a host of MDA and DoD applications.

when ever the quotation marks go around the search (with input text name=q) and are passed on to the iframe with <iframe src="http://google.com/search?q=<%=Request("q") %> i get a msg saying the page cannot be displayed.
i'm guessing since Request("q") already has quotation marks it won't allow the contents of 'q' to have quotation marks.
Is there any other way to request the text that was input so that the quotation marks are recognized by google in the iframe?

yo dood,
Meet me at the end of 11th Avenue (Bayside) 6AM Saturday to see the real sh it. We are not talking surfing waves like a bunch of girls, we are talking hardcore- skate action on a surfboard. Rails, 360 jumps, a noise grind down a staircase with a 9'0 BIC board. Bring a lunch too bro, i'm probably going to rail-slide the entire Somers Point/OC Bridge (never filmed before) on my Channel Islands POD yoouuuuuuwwwp.
I want to get in on some of that drag racing too. You think you can attach my BIC board to your car i can do some "Teen-Wolf" style sh it, maybe some other gnarly surf/drag hybrids.
see you at 6, stoked.

Burned Rice Husk: An Effective Additive for Enhancing the Electromagnetic Properties of MgB2 Superconductor
D. Johnson—contributing editor
†Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
We investigated the effect of doping of burned rice husk which contains ultrafine SiO2 and highly reactive carbon, on the crystal lattice and superconducting properties of MgB2 superconductor prepared by an in situ powder in sealed tube method. XRD, TEM, and magnetic measurements confirm the substitution of carbon atoms at boron sites in the MgB2 lattice and the formation of intragrain nanoinclusions in MgB2. From JC (H) characteristics, doped samples show a drastic enhancement of JC compared with pure MgB2. The enhancement of in-field JC values is due to the flux pinning on lattice defects produced by C substitution and nanoscale inclusions of impurity phases.

Picture: Leann Rimes The 'X Factor' Season Finale performances show taping at CBS Television City Featuring: Leann Rimes Where: Los Angeles, California, United States When:...
It's been a tough time for Leann Rimes recently; she's been accused of inadvertently poisoning a child with a laxative, and attending rehab sessions. So a performance on one of the most-watched talent shows around was the perfect idea to relieve the stress. Oh, no.
Considering how strange she was on stage, fans have been suggesting that her rehab stint was less than successful, and that she was in fact drunk during the performance. This, however, is something Larry Stein - Rimes' lawyer - denies vehemently. "LeAnn was not performing the way she would normally perform, because she was on stage with a young girl," Larry Stein told celeb gossip site, TMZ. "There have been a lot of untrue things said by others and it feeds into this sort of thing."
On Tuesday, LeAnn told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show her decision enter rehab came when she decided to make a change on her 30th birthday. "God, the last four years have been super compressed with anxiety," she said. "I didn't know how to deal with it all."
Rimes also went onto elaborate to Leno about her increasing conflict with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Brandi Glanville, Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife."I should feel flattered that I'm that interesting, that I can be such an amazing storyline on a reality show," she joked.

Hijacking of American Education: Part 8 - History as Truth
By Ruth Nourse
Published May 1, 1990
If it is possible in a courtroom to judge a defendant guilty or innocent, or in a laboratory to discover the relationship between physical properties and phenomena, it must be possible to know the truth about history.
The word "history," according to Webster, is related to the Greek historia, "a learning by inquiry." The word "skeptic" also comes from the Greek skeptesthai, meaning to examine or consider. A true skeptic is a "considerer" who will not pass judgment before the evidence has been thoughtfully examined.
In a world of sunshine and rain and natural beauty beyond measure, who is so cynical as to refuse to examine available evidence of the work of a Creator God in the history of man? For the open minded scholar the possibility of God's presence in history is not unthinkable.
Page Smith points out in his book, History and Historians, that the Jews discovered history. For them chronology was transcended by the relation of a people with their God. The meaning, purpose and direction of history was found in God's will and their Messianic expectation.
According to the Old Testament view, man is able to effect his own destiny in partnership with God. The New Testament demonstrates and affirms the validity of this view. According to the gospels, Messianic hopes of the Hebrew Scriptures were fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth; the Abrahamic covenant, according to Paul's writings, was made universal through faith in Him.
Eusebius, the first important Christian historian, saw history as the unfolding of God's purpose in the world. The verifiable experience of millions alive today supports this view – a view held since ancient times and, until our century, as the prevalent view of western historians.
Those who have seen God's plan unfold in their own lives, find no reason to doubt Columbus' claim that expeditions to undiscovered lands were undertaken as a divine mission. Samuel Eliot writes of Columbus: "His frequent communion with forces unseen was a vital element in his achievement."
Intelligent purpose gives meaning to history and links believers of all generations in the on-going expansion of God's kingdom on earth. Understanding this, we can readily accept what early colonists wrote of divine purpose in the settlement of America. In America, a new, and specifically Christian, start was made.
Generations of English and European peoples were motivated in pursuit of sound government by a Bible based concept of justice. Before the settlement of New England, however, achievement along this line had been both remarkable and disappointing. Success and failure had been their mixed experience. The tyranny of the institutional church had proved as hard to bear as tyranny of kings.
Jamestown, the first colony in the new world, was almost exclusively profit motivated. Thoughtful consideration finds in the Jamestown experience inadequate impetus to explain the settlement of the continent much less the nation that grew here from such small beginnings. That first colony's inability to cope with famine, sickness, hostile Indians, and chronic infighting among promoters and colonial leaders held no lamp of hope to bring throngs of would-be settlers willing to take the attendant risks.
Schemes to enlist Jamestown emigrants included suppression of facts about what colonists actually suffered in Virginia. Disillusionment provided no emotional stimulus for survival, and the colony struggled for years on the brink of disaster. The Jamestown episode fails to explain the resilience and success of colonial America.
The experience of the Mayflower Pilgrims, who landed at Plymouth in 1620, more adequately accounts for the survival and productivity of early American colonies and for the continual flow of immigrants to these shores. Doubters need only read the first line of the Mayflower Compact to confirm the faith of the Pilgrims.
It was a broad faith demonstrated by 102 hardy souls who knelt with William Bradford to ask journeying mercies before their little ship set sail and, again – as they viewed their new homeland – to thank God for delivering them from the "vast and furious ocean." Prayer was not their only demonstration of faith. Hardships that broke the spirit of the colonists at Jamestown drew the Pilgrims closer together and caused them to pray more fervently.
Why must we doubt the testimony of the colonists themselves, who believed that God prepared the way before them and sustained them in the new land? Can the sequence of events that accompanied their coming be explained in a better way? Could such a series of enabling circumstances be expected to burst by chance into the stream of history?
Hostile Indians had been removed from Plymouth by a mysterious plague four years before the Mayflower landed. Apart from this "preparation" for their coming, the sea-wary strangers would have landed among unfriendly Native Americans. Nearly half the Pilgrims died the first winter, yet the faith of the survivors was not diminished.
The turning point at Plymouth came when Samoset, an amiable Algonquin chieftain, brought Squanto to the colony. Stolen away from those very forests by English tradesmen before the plague, Squanto gained a knowledge of the English language and lifestyle by the time he found a way back to his childhood home. Finding none of his own people alive, he spent six months with the Algonquins, seeming not to know which way to turn.
Squanto found new purpose in life as he taught the English settlers how to plant crops, harvest fish and otherwise survive in a perilous environment. Without this native guidance, Plymouth might well have suffered losses like those at Jamestown, where the mortality rate the second year was nine out of ten. The Mayflower Pilgrims recognized God's providence in all this; but the story is seldom told as originally written in William Bradford's account Of Plimouth Plantation.
Providential reward of faith was claimed in the same way by Puritans who arrived on New England shores ten years later. In 1630, John Winthrop was sent as governor with colonists to reinforce the Massachusetts Bay Colony's languishing settlement at Salem. Shocked by the appearance of gaunt and ragged survivors who met him at the shore, Winthrop may have considered returning to England had he not remembered the clear purpose with which his band of Puritans had set sail.
They were people of faith, and their purpose would be achieved in spite of distressing circumstances. The governor outlined his plan for overcoming adversity in a bold and noble sermon entitled "A Model of Christian Charity."
"For this end we must knit together in this work as one man … We must hold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience, and liberality. We must delight in each other, make one another's condition our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our Commission and Community in this work, as members of the same body. So shall we keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace …
"We shall find that the God of Israel is among us, when ten of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies, when He shall make us a praise and glory, that men of succeeding plantations shall say, 'The Lord make it like that of New England.' For we must consider that we shall be as a City upon a Hill …"
Pilgrim and Puritan colonists, in the characteristic manner of Christian believers, held to the Hebraic view of history. Experience of other early settlers in America, their compacts, the founding documents of the several Colonies, and of the United States, demonstrate that the character and the faith of her first leaders was like that of the Pilgrims and Puritans.
Such was the faith perpetuated by America's early literature and the textbooks of her schools. The first book printed by Harvard Press was The Whole Booke of Psalmes "Faithfully translated into English metre." That the faith of the early colonists reigned well into the 19th century is a fact born out by the universal popularity of Longfellow's writings and McGuffey's readers.
It seems evident that devotion and sincerity diminished in proportion to an increase of hypocrisy in life and formalism in worship. Departure from living faith contributed to the instability of the times. Society seemed to depend on enforcement, rather than demonstration, of Christian virtue. Objectivity was forgotten in a subjective purpose to throw off uncomfortable restraints.
Once freedom to do good had been enough, now freedom was granted to do almost anything one wished to attempt. With several generations of results to observe, we may consider more objectively what have been the consequences of rejecting the Bible as the measure of truth. Note that the emphasis here is on the Bible as the basis for faith. Confusion over religious dogma, tradition, ritual has divided Christians for centuries and has undoubtedly discouraged many honest inquirers.
Wisdom in our day is to distinguish between truth and religious verbage in the present as well as in history. Differences over dogma, tradition, and the conduct of people who wear Christian labels confuse the real issue, which is: The Bible either tells the truth about the origin and nature of man, and actual events of history, or it does not. Those who say they have experienced God's intervention in their lives, just as people did in Bible times, are either telling the truth or they are not.
Probably no other human experience has ever been so commonly reported, and at the same time so flippantly discounted. True historians, according to the etymology of the word, will learn by inquiry what has actually happened, rather than distort the record to accomplish some preconceived purpose.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

I wanted to write that I have started this post 1000 times in the last few days, but I'm prone to exaggeration. So I thought that instead I'd write that I've started this post at least 10 times in the last couple of days, but that still wouldn't be the truth. So... the truth is this: this is me, writing off the cuff, without much thought or measure, and I'm blogging for the first time since January.
Introducing: #MomPrompts on Instagramblog
I love blogging. I've been doing it as a hobby since 1999 and over the years I've met hundreds of fellow bloggers at various conferences, including TxSC (rest in peace, my little blog conference!).
But for the last couple years I've noticed that Instagram seems to be where the party is at.
Merry Christmas, y'all!blog
Some years you make a big to-do about your Christmas cards. Outfits were coordinated, a photographer booked, cards were printed, envelopes were addressed, stamps were affixed, and heart felt notes were written.
Other years you do a quick snapshot in the backyard and hurriedly send the file off to a one-hour photo and hand them out to family on Christmas day.
Other years you rush your family in front of a hastily erected tripod just as you're headed out the door to Christmas Eve brunch and you opine, "This year, a social media digital photo is gonna have to do. I hope great grandma has email!"
We'll let you guess which year is this year for our family.
May your Christmas be filled with the love and laughter this Christmas, no matter what kind of year you've had.

not on santa's listblog
A Christmas post from Indiana . . .
Even though we don't do Santa Claus (i.e. presents left under the tree from Santa on Christmas morning), we do take our kids to the mall every year to take a photo with the guy dressed as Santa.
This year's picture did not disappoint. I'm calling this work of art "Lucy Isn't Having It".
This year the kids were joined by their baby cousin Clover (purple shirt on Santa's lap- R), who is six months younger than Lucy (white shirt on Santa's lap- L). I'm not sure if Clover is frightened by the man dressed as Santa or if she's empathy crying for lil'Lu who is freaking her ever loving freak.
This picture joins an incredible line-up of Santa photos from years past [click photo to view larger on Instagram]:
Visiting mall Santa, at least for the next couple years, is going to remain one of my favorite family traditions.
Speaking of... if you meet a family (like mine) who isn't doing Santa, don't assume we're kill joys or that we think your family shouldn't do Santa. We do celebrate Christmas in other ways --big ways! fun ways!-- but we decided that the whole leaving presents from Santa and using him as a behavior modification tool just wasn't right for our family. We've told Jude that Santa Claus was real and that some families have a tradition of pretending to give gifts from Santa Claus. We've told him that some families like to pretend the mall Santa is real (kind of like characters at Disney World or in movies) and if he wants to pretend too, he can because using our imagination is fun. However, it was important to me that he knows that the presents our kids get on Christmas are presents from people who love them and know them and thoughtfully chose each and every gift and wrapped it just for them.
And because we mentioned it on our most recent podcast (returning soon, I swear!) and said we'd publish it on the blog, here are the want / need / wear / read gifts we got (or will get, belated) for our children this year:
- WANT | Jude told the mall Santa he wanted a nutcracker, and it's the only thing he's consistently asked for. So cute. Maybe this will be a yearly tradition.
- NEED | We haven't purchased this yet, but embarrassingly, Jude is still sleeping in his crib. I mean, the toddler rail is installed and he fits just fine, but it's time for us to re-do his room and get him into a big boy bed. He's been asking for a bunk bed, but we're unsure. We think a loft bed or a day bed may be a better choice. Pictured: Land of Nod Tall Order Loft Bed.
- WEAR | He used to wear his NASA cap all the time, but it got lost shortly after our move. I ordered a replacement.
- READ | Chris got him a Narnia box set for them to read together at night.
- WANT | She told the mall Santa she wanted a "new kazoo". She has a perfectly fine kazoo, but we'll indulge her. I love that she always asks things like this. For her birthday, the only thing she wanted was a pointed, cardboard birthday hat.
- NEED | She has outgrown her hand-me-down bike, so we've upgraded her to this and Lucy will get the hand-me-down bike. Do you know how hard it was to find a girly bike that didn't have cartoon characters on it and / or wasn't all pink and purple everything?
- WEAR | She has outgrown the fluffy winter hat she wore all last year. Because she loves leopard, I ordered a similar hat but in her favorite pattern.
- READ | Every time we go to the library, she checks out a bug book. Now she can have her own.
- WANT | Every time I ask her what she'd like for Christmas she says "Dah". "Dah" can mean "dog" or "doll" so I had to make a guess. This doll is good because she can practice buttons, snaps, and ties, which means she can be on her way to dressing herself... which means she's only a few steps away from dressing crazy like Caroline.
- NEED | We have second hand Tripp Trapp chairs for Jude and Caroline, and Lucy so desperately wants to sit in them at the table with us instead of being relegated to her high chair. Thankfully we scored one on Facebook from a local garage sale group last week!
- WEAR | Lucy is obsessed with wearing other people's boots. Sadly, Caroline's frog boots (originally Jude's, originally someone else's) bit the dust, so Lucy doesn't have rain boots in the pipeline for a hand-me-down. I'm eying these cuties since Lucy loves animals so much.
- READ | I can't remember where I saw this book (maybe on Oh, Joy?) but I saw it today at Barnes & Noble and grabbed it for Lucy. I love how cute and simple it is.
It probably isn't at all helpful for me to publish our gift list with just one shopping day between now and Christmas, but maybe you'll be like me, braving the crowds tonight and tomorrow morning or giving a few belated gifts with only a moderate amount of shame.
Or maybe you can use this next year and check back in to see if we'll have a "Lucy Isn't Having It, Part Two" photo. Sound good?
Introducing: Capsulesblog
A Thoughtful Closet post from Indiana . . .
There are two types of people in the world: 1- people who are good at giving advice, and 2- people who are not. But you've got to beware of people who are not good at giving advice because many of them are delusional and think they give good advice or many of them try to give advice anyway, so they masquerade as a good advice givers.
This surprises a lot of my friends when I tell them this, but when it comes to fashion, I am a person who does not give good advice. However I'm savvy enough to know this about myself and to not even try. This is why I'm not a stylist and why I'm uncomfortable when stores ask me to come in to style people for events. Some days I can barely dress myself.
That's why it's been a little befuddling that since I've been tackling my Thoughtful Closet experiment that a fair amount of people have contacted me to help them make their own capsule collection or pared down wardrobe. That is so flattering, y'all, but it's not at all within my realm of capabilities. In fact, this is me laughing at the thought of styling other people.
date: 20 Dec. 2015 | occasion: double date night at Avalon
sweater: H&M | wax coated jeans: c/o Spanx | shoes: DSW | clutch: My Biotiful Bag
But because people have reached out to me about it, I know it's a real want that's out there. I just sort of winged it when I started and for sure have some mistakes that I'll share another time, but for next season / my spring experiement, I've been test driving Cladwell's new site (still in beta!) called Capsules. They're calling it "a destination that helps you create a simple, minimal wardrobe with only clothes you love." For $15 per season ($5 per month), they'll help you build your own capsule wardrobe based on your lifestyle, color preferences, and more. It's way more affordable than a personal stylist (my stylist friends charge $250 - $500 for this service), and I think it's really rad and easy to use.
If one of your new years resolutions is to start shopping more thoughtfully or to try a capsule wardrobe, may I suggest trying Capsules? As a bonus, the first 50 folks to sign up with my link can enjoy the service for $10 this season (instead of $15). It's a small price to pay to avoid bad fashion advice givers pretending to be good fashion advice givers, am I right?
Hats off to hatsblog
A Thoughtful Closet post from Indiana . . .
I am so not a hat person. I used to think I was a hat person, but then one day I realized that I have no idea what to do with said hat once I enter a building. Or when I drive. Or when I eat. And it doesn't make sense to wear a hat just hanging at home, me and the kids... so the question begs to be asked: when does one wear a hat?
I'll tell you when one can wear a hat: when one is invited to a tea party. And that, my friends, is why I'm wearing this hat:
date: 10 Dec. 2015 | occasion: tea party with my Northside squad
hat: American Apparel | dress: Brass | boots: TOMS | bracelets: Jook & Nona
CHRIS: For someone who claims not to be a hat person, you sure do have a lot of hats.
INDIANA: I don't have a lot of hats!
CHRIS: What are you talking about? You have that very hat in yellow and gray!
INDIANA: Oh. You're right. But I'm still not a hat person.
CHRIS: How do you figure?
INDIANA: I guess since I own more than one hat, I'm technically a hats person.
I'd like to show off my gray one again. Who has another tea party they can invite me to? It's the only place where I can wear a floppy hat in the winter without feeling completely ridiculous.
On having hashimoto'sblog
I've mentioned this on Instagram, and since then I've been trying to figure out how to write a post about it without making is a "feel alarmed or sorry for me" kind of post. So up front, don't be alarmed for me! Things are under control.
It's been quiet here and with the podcast because I've been working very hard this last month to get my health in check. Some background:
In 2008, after being misdiagnosed with Lupus in college, I finally got a handle on my health with a correct diagnosis of Hashimoto's Syndrome.

Koji Sasahara, Associated Press
TOKYO — This Japanese flower bloomed just when the country needed it most.
A nation reeling from months of tragedy united in joyous celebration Monday after its women's soccer team — nicknamed "Nadeshiko" for a pink mountain flower — won the World Cup by beating the United States.
Fans decked out in the team's dark blue colors hugged and sang in Tokyo as they watched the players lift the World Cup on live TV broadcasts from Germany.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan called the victory the "greatest gift" to the nation, especially to the residents of the northeast coast most devastated by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The twin disasters left nearly 23,000 people dead or missing and caused partial meltdowns at a nuclear power plant that added to the tragedy.
The "Nadeshiko" mountain flower is believed to be a symbol of femininity in traditional Japanese culture. But some fans said the players defied the traditional feminine role with their tough playing style.
The team, which had to come back twice from one-goal deficits, demonstrated courage by playing "a diehard match even when they were on the back foot," Kan said in the statement carried by Kyodo news agency.
Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa said the victory will encourage those working to help Japan bounce back.
"I'm delighted. The team showed great perseverance and sent a good message toward recovery from the major disaster," Kyodo quoted Kitazawa as telling reporters in Aomori.
The team is expected to return to Japan on Tuesday to a hero's welcome.
Japan's players used the disasters as motivation throughout the tournament, watching pictures of the devastation from their homeland before some matches.
The team displayed a banner reading "To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support" before the final.
Added Toru Komatsu, 22: "This is a chance to forget the nuclear disaster and everything else, to just to unite and celebrate."
Several members of the national squad played for the former professional team sponsored by Tokyo Electric Power Co., owner of the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant.
Japan became the first Asian nation to win the Women's World Cup, beating the U.S. 3-1 in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw.
Bars and restaurants that showed the game live in central Tokyo were packed for the kickoff at 3:45 a.m. local time Monday — a national holiday. At some venues, dozens of fans stood in the street and watched through the windows of crowded establishments.
After the victory, chanting fans spilled into Tokyo's streets. In Shibuya, a neighborhood known for its youth pop culture, dozens of police kept a small group of boisterous fans from wandering out into traffic.
Special edition newspapers proclaiming the victory were printed by the national papers and handed out to pedestrians Monday morning, while scenes from the game were replayed constantly on television.
"It has been so scary with the earthquake and everything," said 22-year-old Miaki Tomiyama. "The team has given us happiness."

New Camera Arrival
Having just written an Ode to my Casios in Business 2.0, I had to try something new…. The prior three photos in my stream are freehand shots from this FX-7.
Since I try to never use the flash indoors, I was curious about the Optical Image Stabilization feature (Mega OIS) built into the Leica lens array, a unique feature for a pocket camera. I'm not sure if I have figured out the correct photo conditions to take advantage of this feature (I tried chasing a flying bug with it =) but the photo tests by dpreview were pretty impressive. I wonder if the Casio Z55 and Z3 do so relatively well in low light because they go to f2.6 vs. the standard f2.8 in pocket cameras.
Compared to the Casio Z55, the FX-7 has a slightly better macro zoom (5cm vs. 6cm) and it is smaller, lighter, and dare I say, more stylish. The OIS feature is the most important one, but I have not had enough experience to compare that yet.
Major drawbacks vs. Casio:
1) short battery life. The battery mAh is 42% lower, and the circuitry and/or screen are less power efficient (50% by my estimate). The camera heats up noticeably during use. I am looking for a better aftermarket battery.
2) No cradle. Pulling batteries out to recharge, and draining the battery during photo uploading compounds the pain of short battery life.
Points of parity: 5MP with 3x zoom seems to be the sweet spot for pocket cameras. Both have a great assortment of automation features to help the novice take better photos. Both have a 2.5" LCD, which is essential in a pocket camera, IMHO. The viewfinder is an anachronism in cameras this size, and the much smaller area 2" screen (e.g., Canon SD400) is a pain as a viewfinder. When the Canon gets a 2.5" screen, it will be enticing with a 3cm macro and 2x the video resolution.

HOUSTON -- Round 3 might be a more fitting label than Game 3 when the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets meet tomorrow night in the Western Conference semifinal series.
The Lakers' Derek Fisher and Orlando's Rafer Alston have been
suspended for one game by the NBA for separate incidents in the
game last night.
A total of five technical fouls were called in Los Angeles'
testy 111-98 victory that evened the series at 1-1.
The league opted not to suspend the Lakers' Kobe Bryant for
elbowing Houston Ron Artest during their testy playoff game. The
NBA ruled that Artest got elbowed in the chest and not the head,
which would have led to Bryant's suspension.
Artest was disappointed with the ruling on Bryant, saying NBA
executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson
should look at the replay again.
So what's in store for Game 3?
Shane Battier has guarded Bryant for most of the series. Battier expects both teams to tone down the unnecessary roughness, because the referees will try to take immediate control.
